>Ancient civilization had super ultra advance technology far beyond anything available in the modern era
It's realisticJust look at how modern games can't do reflections anymore
looks like one of my mewgenic cats after I sent him to hell and a nuclear basement

>>735963096>stole everything from the egyptianslol
>>735963073We gotta have ancient ruins with puzzle elements somehow
>>735962530Explain the pyramids or mirrors with working reflections in ps2 games. The technology/knowledge to make these things has been lost.
>>735963096Are you implying Greeks are white?
>>735963107How about this?
>>735962530Just like how it's impossible to have a game work without connecting to a central server.
>>735962692>>735963213>ReflectionsWhat? Could you explain this to me? I don't play modern games.
>>735963427But we can
>>735965064Just can't be done. No highguard for anyone now that the central server is out. Lost technology is a bitch.

Woah.. is that a.. disgruntled screenshot of a children's cartoon character? Now I know OP is serious mode. We should pay close attention what this clearly adult individual has to say about everything.

>>735962530>fantasy game>discover ancient civilization with advanced technology>uncover a superweapon>its just a handgun
>>735965484Typical adult behaviour would be to post a poorly traced image of a balding guy or a screenshot of twitter
>>735963516Old games use stupid rendering tricks to literally draw a flipped scene, (looked good, janky) new games either eschew reflective mirrors entirely or use some fucked ass path tracing that looks like dogshit and is still janky
>>735963385post the requested webm please anon
>>735967134Or just talk like an adult about adult subject matter, kiddo. Muh baby cartoons are still childish whether or not some other guy wastes his time with that stuff

>>735967831True, there's no room for anything childish in the video toys board

IT'S ATLANTISIT'S JUST THE ATLANTIS MYTHEVERY TIME YOU ARE COMPLAINING THIS IS UNREALISTIC IT IS JUST THE ATLANTIS MYTH
>>735962692Racing sims can do reflections just fine, on multiple surfaces simultaneously.
For me, it's Tartaria
>>735962530>game has thousands years worth of lore>technology didn't change since the dawn of timeFucking hacks. And no, magic existing is not an excuse, specially when it neither evolve
>>735973101Get better myths.
I thought by now we could go all sword art online go into a game with my mindbut sadly I have understood that technology isn't actually improving but rather just incremental increases in computing power and that is all there is to ithumanity has barely improved since 2010
There's no way modern humanity can ever go back to medieval times, right?
>>735973789Why would you want to go back to time without toilets, hospitals and grocery stores?
>>735962530>Ancient civilization invented wifi
>>735966589>Become a mystical samurai warrior of a fantastical feudal kingdom sworn to protect the weak from the demonic hordes>Descend into the ancient dungeons from which they arise>Defeat the demonic guardian that's never been surpassed and press onward>Find modern construction and excavation equipment>Open a locker>Find a pistolSMT4 has a lot of problems but I fucking love the start of it it's so good
>>735973878I think you misunderstand the intent behind my question.I'm saying there's no way it's possible for civilization to be reset the way it appears in movies right? We have too many intelligent people and too many schematics and manuals and we could easily recreate everything, so we shouldn't be in danger of us becoming the future "ancient advanced civilization" to a bunch of medieval serfs, right?
>>735974356Nothing good MAD can't do.
>>735974356Resources are finite, your blueprints won't worth shit. What are we gonna use when copper is depleted?
>>735974607>What are we gonna use when copper is depleted?Flesh. Biocomputers are the next step in human evolution.
>ancient ultra advanced civilization>it collapses because one random guy invented one thing
>>735975102I see psionic powers more feasible than biocomputing.
We're laughing now, but I can easily see a bad 2050's timeline where people are huddled around in the hovels of a post-collapse society. We'd be talking by a crackling fire barrel, reminiscing about the deus ex machina that spoke to us briefly before being lost to time, and how it used to generate pictures of anime tiddies. >"Where did it go, father?">"When the world went dark, many gifts our forbearers had forged were lost. The great daytah cinders used to host those gods, but they've long since abandoned us. They say some tech priests still commune with the old ones, but I've never seen one myself."
>>735973710Why would someone count the "property" of a slave trader? It's ill gotten gains so no one cares about returning it to someone leaning on their slaver lineage.
>>735967353I wouldn't call it janky but it was impractical to do for something like a reflection in a large pool. Usually why you only saw it on indoor mirrors in small rooms.
>>735962530>lost technology to send people to the moonmankind's single greatest achievement everand we lost original tapes and all the tech that black women worked so hard to make happenthere is not 24/7 moon channel selling updated dvd/blu ray copies of basically the coolest thing everdo they not even like capitalism?
>>735974356It depends on how deep the mudflood buries everything.
>>735974356It's worse than you'd think. Many advanced machines, technology and medecine are "lost knowledge" in that we know how to use them now, how to make them with other advanced technology, but we don't know how we'd build them or discover them again if we lost it all. Sure the internet is choke full of information but without electricity it's useless. Local libraries don't have the kind of books you'd need to learn to start over. Hygiene and sanitation levels would quickly drop down to third world level, causing a lot of sickness and deaths. Anyone who relies on drugs would be fucked once their bottles run out. Maintenance of public infrastructure would stop, they'd deteriorate and quickly make a lot of places unlivable.
>>735975565this kind of mentality is retarded because way, way too many people have the knowledge to make efficient generators out of scrap. Midwits have this image in their head of some big sun spot or EMP happening and the world turning into Mad Max but realistically it's way way way easier to just make something we already figured out how to make in the past than for people to come up with a brand new idea and work out the kinks.
>>735973753we already have VR lol
>during 1990s people thought by 2020 we would have flying cars >currently in 2020s people think by a decade or two we are going to have 0 jobs and robots are going to do everything for us
>>735968005retarded conspiracy theorists think we don't know how to build the pyramids any more even though we 100% do
>>735976208Maybe not now but the brainrot over generations will lead to idoicracy tier humans.
>>735975849You are vastly underestimating the amount of people that could make a functioning power generator that works on just burning wood or a water wheel if using scrap parts if they were forced to. It wouldn't even be difficulty if they could just scrap random shit to get copper, like old microwaves. Just because (you) don't know how to generate electricity doesn't mean Jorge the spic mechanic who's been fixing things with scrap parts for his whole life or an engineering graduate couldn't cobble something together in a week if they really needed to. Hell, high school students make functioning power generators as school science fair projects. Getting access to electricity would be an absolute non-issue even in some imagined post apocalypse scenario. Unless somehow every mechanic on the planet dies and the only people left are retail workers and office drones.
>>735976379Oh, really? Where is your pyramid, bitch?
>>735973789Yes, it can and it will thanks to jeets and the middle east
>>735976568Bro...
>>735962530>le realism bad
>>735976658in thousands of years, archeologists are going to think 2000s era humans worshipped a bass god

>>735976658That shit wouldn't stand for 200 years. Pyramids mog that sissy building, hard.
>>735962530To any gumball niggas, they're finally releasing the complete box set soon.
>>735976817The glass might not but the metal frame will likely last more than few centuries.
>>735962530>>Ancient civilization had super ultra advance technology far beyond anything available in the modern eraIt's a trope because it's been the case multiple times throughout human history. >collapse of rome lost europe concrete, road-building and agricultural techniques for centuries>bronze age collapse almost wiped out writing and metallurgy was all but gone for a while in mesopotamia>polynesians lost their knowledge of sailing once they settled down>collapse of the han dynasty resulted in incalculable losses because so much was burned and destroyedIf you don't use it (or write it down) you lose it.
>>735977098>If you don't use it (or write it down) you lose itwe can't lose data anymore, AI remembers everything
>>735962530>technology today exists in the remarkably small 1st world>a global cataclysm would easily destroy it, swamped by ignorant masses>end of the ice age resulted in global flooding, with shorelines moving even 500km inland>the ocean floor has since been covered by 10,000 years of sediment and trash>even without any digging it's 90% unchartedit's not unthinkable for a small, very advanced civilization to have existed together with stone age humans. sentinel island is still there today.
>>735976854>They used the stiff, soulless style with circular eyes for the cover
>>735962530people who complain about this must lack higher brain function. It's the coolest shit.
>>735976208The number of people who know how things work in general is globally massive, but as a fraction of humanity absolutely tiny. There is also the fact that just because you know how something works doesn't give you the knowledge how to make it. E.g. it's easy to make bloomery iron, but to go from ore to high quality Vanadium-Chromium Steel mass production isn't trivial. Without Googling do you for example know how to make flat reference plates?
>>735962530>intelligent animals/insects with an entire complex parallel society to humanity >they have never attempted any form of direct communication with humans nor have humans ever uncovered evidence of their intelligence at any point within the the entire history of each civilization existing next to one another.
>>735976208It depends on the person. >way too many peopleCitation needed. There are so many normies who only use Facebook and Instagram. If you try to explain computers or any nuanced nature of tech, they just shake their head and say shit like>"nah dude, I just like football and PS5, I'm not into computer stuff!"A person or an individual anon, perhaps, is intelligent. The masses, by and large, are borderline retarded. There would still be smart people, but for their own safety, they would either seclude themselves or intentionally keep those beneath them dumb to maintain their power. High-tech shit will still exist in my scenario, and there will be people smart enough to run it, but they will be the minority. Do you honestly believe some podunk in Appalachia will know or even care to know the nature of the world they live in, rather than live day to day as best they can? If you do, you're the real midwit here.

Nobody posted one of the ultimate vidya examples? >Can you hear the music in your mind?
>>735978093Theres actually like tons of ways to include realistic time travel mechanics. Youre just giving up in your quest too quickly. I’m a member of the clan of the seventeen flaming crossbows, time travel, is it real?
>>735978708I'm talking about fiction.
>>735978843fiction is based on realityhumans are not capable of thinking of things that aren't based off of reality
>>735978954But I can think of a talking cat, and cats don't do that usually.
>>735978954>humans are not capable of thinking of things that aren't based off of realityYou think that sets and numbers are real?
>>735978954This is an image of a horse
WE WERE KINGS
>>735978954Is this some kind of bait?
>>735979031cats do talk, humans are just too dumb to understand cat-tongue I assume you mean cats talking in human tongue, and it is basically inference, you understand human speech so you imagine a cat talking in human legible tongue, so what you make up as fiction is basically grounded on reality either way, cat tongue isn't that complicated anyways, they have basic phrases that they repeat
>>735977098>>polynesians lost their knowledge of sailing once they settled downThat ones always amazing to me. You have a seafaring society they travel hundred of thousands of miles then they just hit some islands and decide>we're comfy here, we'll just stay here for the next 1000-1500 years eating fish, crab and rice and doing fuckall. Maybe the occasional raid
>>735979110>You think that sets and numbers are real?math is arbitrary when it comes to quantitization i.e units but it derives itself into axioms that are absolute and based off of reality what level of midwit are you to not understand what abstraction is? language is a common set of things well defined so different people can communicateideas can only be conveyed in precise ways if you make defined abstractions
>one day ayys will descend from space and remove their helmets, revealing themselves to be human>their technology is far more advanced than anything thought possible>the first things they ask are what the fuck happened while they were gone
>>735963107
>>735979582>axioms that are absolute and based off of realityIs this reality following rules of Euclidean geometry, or some non-Euclidean one?Is excluded middle an actual law or not?And thousand other examples.I understand what an abstraction is, I don't see why think that our approach is necessarily based off reality, instead of being symbolic manipulation, independent of reality at hand, that can be used to abstract parts of reality for the purpose of communication. If there is an objective reality, then at least some logics are describing something that doesn't happen outside of their own, theoretical sphere.
>>735975617>Why would someone count the "property" of a slave trader?Jews, man. These are the people currently waging a genocidal war to conquer a barren strip of land with nothing on it but people who hate them.

>>735976486It isn't just a matter of electricity, though even that could be an issue especially if there was a major collapse that meant that either a large percentage of people with that knowledge were either actually wiped out like a plague, or things were so unstable that they were not able to spend the time doing so because they're avoiding being raped by cannibals or are forced to grow food for some warlord etc. In fact, if anything it could be a major issue if some billionaire in their bunkers who have the knowledge, resources, and manpower necessary to do some of these things. Hell, just consider drug development - consider that throughout recorded history we only got antibiotics, even the most simple predictable types, in the last century. Even if you tried to go away from growing penicillin and use something like a mineral based antibiotic (Dr. Stone touched on this), its possible but requires a lot of knowledge and sufficient materials, machinery et.c We've lost more things or come close to it just in recent years. Hell the >We don't have plans to replicate a Saturn V rocket anymore thing is an issue and that is despite a project designed specifically to retain lots of their info and some of the smartest people in the world. They were lost/destroyed, or were contingent or some other off the shelf part (ie a given vacuum tube or whatever made by 60s-co, is no longer available and its plans may have been destroyed when 60s-co went to making resistors in the 80s or whatever the fuck), manufacturing style etc.. that are no longer available. Even the people who could confirm some of those specifics are not alive anymore. Hell, you want a vidya example >Mass Effect LE didn't have the ME1 Pinnacle Station because they lost the source code! >Lots of other games ended up losing the code or otherwise fucking up etcThe ME1 LE example was thankfully modded back in by players creating an approximation, but game code/assets can vanish
